Fort Ransom, Fort Seward and Fort Rico
(b6,0OO acres), and must fall within 200,10
acres. When the company makes up this loss
there will be left over 100000 acres for the
settlers. The railroad company has claimed
the right to select its lien lands anywhere
along the line. In place of lands lost In Mn.
nesota and Montana It could como into Dakota
and take all the lands, II needed, Ia the indem"

secretary. He holds that the lands lost in

recognized. II the secretary's construction is
literally enforced, there seems to be no chance
for the Northern Pacific to retain the lands
selected except the small fraction actually lost
in Dakota. There seems to be no hope for the
holders Of indemnity lands purchased from the
Northern Pacific except to fall back on the

Treatment Of Dysentery.

In correspondence from Bombay, DR.. c,
MacDowall, physician In the British army OF
East India, speaks with great enthusiasm of
tho treatment Of dysentery by ipecacuanha.
Like other friends of this treatment, such as
Decker, Ewart, Cunningham, Malun, etc., he
says that 1t Is almost specific, renders the dis
ease easy to cure, and prevents the complica-
tion most feared, |. O., hopatic suppuration.
But be emphasizes particularly, that 'the REM
edy be given early in the disease, at the proper
time, aud In proper manner" The prlnci-
pies Of the treatment are:
|. To give large dose Of ipecac, at least
thirty grains for an adult.
e. To prepare the stomach to accept and re-
tain such large dose by about twenty drops
Of laudanum an hour before giving the ipecac;
also the application Of sinapism over tho
stomach, and to administer the ipecac in tho
form Of large pill, not In solution. It must
also DO given at night, at the time Of going to
sleep, never in the morning, and not during
the day, and no liquid Is to be taken after tho
dose has been given.
Sometimes tue patient vomits a little mucus
toward the morning hours, but the greater
portion Of the remedy has by that time been
absorbed. This treatment must be renewed
every night, and usually the improvement ia
marked by the third morning, or sooner; blood,
nucus, pain, sall three aaging diaappeare,,
A disease which formerly made us despai
now has lost Its terror to US.
The opium may be substituted by hypo-
dermic injection of morphia. Bismuth subni
trat may be given through the day. Sinai
doses Of ipecac arc more than useless; tho,
have been tried in India for over two centuries
without lessening the mortality in dysentery.
Since more than twenty years tho above has
been adopted as almost the only treatment in
British India, and has given the best results

Browns house and reported him
lost. A searching party was or
ganizcd with as little delay as pos
sible, and they have been out until
Wednesday, and can get no signs
of the missing man beyond where
White left him. Brown was going
up the creek where his tracks were
last seen. There has been such a
heavy fall of snow since he disap-
peared that it makes searching
with any chance of success almost
an impossibility. Fears are being
entertained that he has been at
tackled by bear or cougar, or fall
len over bluff, as he is a strong
young man and ought to have been
out of the mountains by this time
if he was only lost. His friends
are greatly distressed about his ab-
sence. He was an estimable man,
and leaves wife and three child
ren.
One day recently two men in a
carriage drove up to the home of
J. L. Burns, on the fiat below this
town, and one of them entered the
house, took off his overcoat and
seated himself near the stove. Mr..
Burns came up at this time and
asked the other man to get out of
the carriage and come into the
house. He declined, and said that
his friend had went into the house
merely TO inquire the way. Mr..
Burns then entered the room, spoke
to the stranger and made some
other pleasant remarks. After
some little time the stranger arose,
and looking Mr.. B. in the face, re-
piled "Say, pard, let's you and /
put on the gloves" "All right"
said Mr.. B. The man exclaimed,
"You are too willing, and it is too
much trouble to put on the gloves;
let's shuck coats and 60 at it open
handed" "All right; peel your
linen!" said Burns. OFF came
coats and at it they went, like Kill
rain and Smith. The first blow
from the well directed fist of John
Burns knocked the stranger to the
floor, and he was then kicked out
at the door. The man then jumped
up and exclaimed: Stranger, l
didn't mean It'll" 1t is not likely
that this idiot will ever enter an
other mans house and propose to
act the part-of Sullivan, Kilrain or
Smith.

RANGE AND VALLEY.

j. M. Campbell informs us that
300 or more cattle are showed in at
the head of Longtom creek. Sever
al calves have perished, and the
owners should drive the cattle into
the valley or they will surely die
for want of food. The snow is
about two feet deep up there.
Daniel McGinness, large cattle
owner, was in Mountain Home last
Monday. He reports stock in fair
condition, and says the recent snow
and rain did the cattle no injury,
nor benefit, as it came too late to
start new grass The belief now is
that the cattle will pull through
this winter without serious loss.
Mr.. McGinness and others have
commenced in the District Court, a
civil action against Friedman and
other sheep owners, to determine
priority right of range, under sec
ton 6872 Revised Statutes.
John Reynolds, guileless young
cowboy, last week represented to
Daniel McGinniss that his saddle
was stolen from him and he was
unable to buy another He agreed
that if Mr.. McGinness would buy
him one he would work for him un-
til its value would be earned. AL
though not needing him, Mr.. Nc
Ginness, out of pity, accepted the
offer and bought a saddle for him,
whereupon the guileless youth lit
out for parts unknown, taking the
saddle with him, and failed to per-
form his obligation. At the request
of Mr.. McGinness a warrant Twas
issued for his arrest by Justice Sin
mott and the officers are on the look
out.

A person who wakes suddenly,
shakes himself and jumps out of
bed as if he were struck by light
ming will certainly injure his own
brain if he continues the habit for
a sufficient length of time. The
sudden filling of the blood vessels
by too sharp activity after waking
will in turn produce relaxation, or
possibly rupture, in the walls of
the cerebral vessels. A person
should waken himself slowly, and
should rest short time after wax
ing, indulging in some light general
mental operation, just enough to
stimulate normal activity in the
brain forces before he rises from the
recpmbent position.
